| The Shins – Turn On Me Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
You can fake it for a while Bite your tongue and smile Like every mother does her ugly child But it starts to leak on out Like spittle from a cloud Amassed resentment pelting ounce and pound You’re entertaining any doubts ‘Cause you had to know that I was fond of you Fond of Y-O-U Though I knew you masked your disdain La da da da da I could see that change was just too hard for us Hard for us You always had to hold the reigns But where I'm headed you just don't know the way So affections fade away And do adults just learn to play The most ridiculous repulsive games? All the favoured ruddy sons And their double-barreled guns You better hurry rabbit run run run! 'Cause meeting you was fun And there's a lot of hungry hatters in this world Set on taking it over Like brittle thorny stems They break before they bend And neither one of us is one of them And the tears will never mend ‘Cause you had it in for me so long ago Boy, I still don't know... I don't know why and I don't care Well, hardly anymore... If you'd only seen yourself hating me Hating me When I've been so much more than fair But then you'd have to lay those feelings bare One thing I know still got you scared You're all that cold iron And never once erred on a dare You had to know that I was fond of you Fond of Y-O-U So I took your licks at the time Fa da da da da And to change like that is just so hard to do Hard to do Don't let it whip-crack your life And I'll bow out from the fight Those old pious sisters were right The worst part is over Now get back on that horse and ride |

this song, lyrically, reminds me of the film 'Big Fish'. It could have replaced 'Man of the Hour' as PJ's song for that soundtrack. I believe it to be a dying person's last words to the love of their life. Very romantic song. I think its " I don't wanna know your plans" not "past". |

"Now you got both sides claiming killing in god's name" this is another song about war - specifically about what's going on right now in the middle east. Bush and the bible thumpers in the US - vs. - Islamic extremists in the Middle east. Both wrong, both completely godless in their efforts, ironically. |

| Introspection. This song is a beautiful description of the 12 step program, in a way. Mike McCready should be very proud, for many reasons, including this song. | |
| Feist – L'amour Ne Dure Pas Toujours Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Actually, it means "love doesn't last forever". This song is an almost spiteful reply to an ex lover who did the author wrong, or broke their heart. The writer goes on to say that he/she's basically over that person. The last stanza translates: "You were therefore nothing but an experience we were both wrong, my tired heart is taking vacation love doesn't last forever." |

| Pearl Jam – Army Reserve Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Not sure, but the lines "But it's becoming a lie" before: "She tells herself And everyone else Father is risking His life for our freedoms" allows me to suspect that this is an anti war/army song. Its becoming apparent to this woman that the war efforts and military influence is a dying breed fallacy. She hopes that her son doesn't follow in his dad's footsteps. "Darling you'll save me If you save yourself" |
